This may affect a number device types in terms of: - Connection restrictions - Criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance *) - Criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement *)
*) at the interface with the public grid see "Technical data"
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the matter with the power supply company.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly
The mains voltage tolerances of the devices may deviate from those specified in the technical data depending on the mains connection.
Dangers from mains current and charging cur- rent
Anyone working with battery chargers exposes themselves to numerous dangers, e.g.: - Risk of electrocution from mains current and charging current. - Hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can risk the lives of those using cardiac
pacemakers.
An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is potentially life threatening. To avoid electric shocks while using the charger: - Do not touch any live parts inside or on the outside of the charger. - Under no circumstances touch the battery poles. - Do not short-circuit the charging cable or charging terminals.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately dimen- sioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and leads must be immediately repaired by authorised personnel.
Danger due to acid, gases and vapours
Batteries contain acid which is harmful to the eyes and skin. During charging, gases and vapours are released that may be harmful to health and are highly explosive in certain circumstances.
Only use the charger in well-ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation of explosive gases. Battery rooms are not deemed to be hazardous areas provided that a concentra- tion of hydrogen of less than 4% can be guaranteed by the use of natural or forced vent- ilation.
Maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m (19.69 in.) between the battery and charger during the charging procedure. Possible sources of ignition such as fire and naked flames must be kept away from the battery.
The battery connection (e.g. charging terminals) must not be disconnected for any reason during charging.
Do not inhale any of the gases and vapours released under any circumstances - Make sure the area is well ventilated.
To prevent short circuits, do not place any tools or conductive metals on the battery.
6
Battery acid must not get into the eyes or onto the skin or clothes. Wear protective goggles and suitable protective clothing. Rinse any acid splashes thoroughly with clean water and seek medical advice if necessary.
General informa- tion regarding the handling of bat- teries
- Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage. - Store charged batteries in a cool place. Self discharge is kept to a minimum at
approx. +2 °C (35.6 °F). - Carry out a visual inspection at least once a week or as often as specified by the
battery manufacturer to ensure that the acid (electrolyte) level in the battery is at the max. mark.
- If any of the following occur, do not start the device (or stop immediately if already in use) and have the battery checked by an authorised workshop: - uneven acid levels and/or high water consumption in individual cells caused by
a possible fault. - overheating of the battery above 55 °C (131 °F).
Protecting your- self and others
While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity, - warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases, danger from mains
and charging current, etc.), - provide suitable protective equipment.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in your absence.
Safety measures in normal opera- tion
Chargers with a ground conductor must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground conductor and a socket with a ground conductor contact. If the charger is oper- ated on a mains supply without a ground conductor or in a socket without a ground con- ductor contact, this will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
Only operate the charger in accordance with the degree of protection shown on the rat- ing plate.
Under no circumstances operate the charger if there is any evidence of damage.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure the ground conductor is functioning properly.
Any safety devices and parts that are not functioning properly or are in imperfect condi- tion must be repaired by a qualified technician before switching on the charger.
Never bypass or disable protection devices.
After installation, an accessible mains plug is required.
EMC Device Clas- sifications
Devices in emission class A: - Are only designed for use in industrial settings - Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas
Devices in emission class B: - Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This is also true for
residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-voltage mains.

1 Connect the charger mains plug to the electrical mains supply
The display appears in standard mode. The display shows the charger paramet- ers: - Type of battery (e.g. wet) - Charging characteristic (e.g. IUI) - Nominal voltage (e.g. 48 V) - Capacity (e.g. 300 Ah) - Day of the week, date and time
The charger parameters can be set individually. More information on the charger para- meters can be found under "Configuration mode" in the "Display functions" chapter. Ensure that the battery to be charged matches the configuration of the battery charging system.
2 Connect the charging plug or connect the (+) charging lead to the positive pole of the battery and the (-) charging lead to the negative pole of the battery
The charger detects that the battery is connected and starts charging. If start-up delay is activated, then charging will start at the end of the set delay time. For more information, see "Configuration mode" in the "Display" section.
During the charging process the display shows the following values: - Current charging current (A) - Current charging voltage (V) - The charge already input (Ah) - Battery temperature with the "temperature-controlled charging" option - The time (hh:mm) since charging started
23
EN
The battery symbol indicates the current state of charge. The greater the number of bars that are displayed, the further advanced the charging process is. As soon as the battery is fully charged, a minute counter will appear (see figure on right). This counts the minutes since the end of charging; when a number of chargers are being used, this makes it easier to decide which battery will have already cooled down most.
If, however, the standard display is still to be shown rather than the minute counter:
1 Use the "Up/Down" keys to toggle between the minute counter and standard display
When the battery is fully charged all 4 bars of the battery symbol appear black. As soon as the battery is fully charged, the charger begins conservation charging.
- All bars are displayed - The green "Battery charged" indic-
ator is on - The battery is always ready to use - The battery can remain connected
to the charger for as long as required
- Conservation charging counteracts battery self discharge

5 2,5 min 7,5 min 1 x 2,5 min 7,5 min
In each of these programs, the solenoid valve opens for a time "ON 1" and closes for a time "OFF 1". This process is repeated for the number of times specified under "Repeat". After this number of repetitions has been completed, the process continues with the "ON 2" and "OFF 2" times until charging is completed.
Temperature-con- trolled charging
automatic/OFF/required - automatic ... Temperature-dependent adjustment of the charging characteristic. - OFF ... The measured battery temperature is not taken into account. - required ...
Charging only starts if the temperature sensor is connected.
Error overtemperature ON/OFF - ON ... Error message in the event of battery overtemperature.
Charging process stops and can only be continued once the battery has cooled down and been reconnected.
- OFF ... No error message in the event of battery overtemperature.
Warning overtemperature ON/OFF - ON ... Warning in the event of battery overtemperature. - OFF ... No warning in the event of battery overtemperature.
An external temperature sensor is required for certain characteristics. If this type of char- acteristic is selected in configuration mode, a note is shown indicating that an external temperature sensor is required.
The following characteristics require an external temperature sensor: - 28 - FCC IUI - CSM WET - 30 - FCC IUI - WET
A note is displayed if a characteristic that requires an external temperature sensor is selected.
1 Use the "Pause/Start" key to confirm the note.
Equalising charge
Equalising charge
35
EN
Delay - If the battery remains connected to the charger for the duration of the equalising
charge delay ("equalize charge delay"), a special type of charging takes place. This prevents acid stratification.
- The parameters for the current (ampere/100 ampere hours), voltage (volt/cell) and duration of the equalising charge may all be changed.
Weekday - Specify the weekday on which the equalising charge is to take place. - The parameters for the current (ampere/100 ampere hours), voltage (volt/cell) and
duration of the equalising charge may all be changed.
Manual equalising charge (“Manual”) - An equalising charge can be started manually by pressing the relevant key on the
display. - The equalising charge starts after a set delay time has been observed. The charge
parameters that have been set are followed. - The parameters for the current (ampere/100 ampere hours), voltage (volt/cell) and
duration of the equalising charge may all be changed. - This function is only available for Pb-Wet characteristics.
If a setting for the equalising charge is enabled, a symbol on the home screen next to the set ampere hours or charging time shows whether an equalising charge is being carried out or can be started.
Delay "Delay"
"Charge start delay" - Delay time (minutes) between the activation time of the charge start and the actual
charge start.
“Charge end delay” - Delay time (minutes) between the signaled end of charge (e.g. green indicator) and
the actual end of charge.
"At mains failure restart charging" - If this option is activated, the charging process is automatically restarted after a fault
in the electrical network as soon as the electrical network is available again.
"At mains failure" - Restart charging - Automatic/continue charging
If the "Restart charging" option is activated, the charging process is automatically restar- ted after a fault in the electrical network as soon as the electrical network is available again.
If the "Automatic/continue charging" option is activated, the charging process is automat- ically continued after a fault in the electrical network as soon as the electrical network is available again.

Safety In order to connect optional components, it may be necessary to open the housing. The following warning notices must be obeyed:
WARNING!
Danger due to work that has been carried out improperly. This can result in serious injury and damage to property. All work involved with connecting optional components must only be carried out by
qualified specialist technicians. If Installation Instructions or User Information is available for the optional component
concerned, all warning notices and instructions therein must be obeyed. In the case of all optional components with electrical connections, once the connec-
tion work is complete, a safety inspection must be carried out in accordance with rel- evant national and international standards and directives.
Further details on safety inspections can be obtained from your authorised service centre.
They will provide you with any documents you may require on request.
WARNING!
Danger from machines falling or toppling over. This can result in serious injury and damage to property. Due to its weight, the device must be secured using suitable fittings to prevent it
from toppling or falling over. The wall and floor brackets provided by the manufacturer must be used.
Electrolyte circu- lation (not avail- able on the Selectiva 3x220 16 kW variants)
NOTE!
Danger due to the ingress of electrolyte from the battery or due to operation without any back pressure. This may result in damage to the air pump. Always set up the charger at least 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69 in.) above the battery to be
charged. Always use an undamaged connecting hose provided specifically for this purpose to
connect the charger's compressed air outlet to the battery.
NOTE!
Danger due to non-observance of the permissible mains voltage tolerance. This can cause malfunctions and damage. For the electrolyte circulation option, a restricted mains voltage tolerance of 207 V to
250 V, phase-phase: 360 V to 433 V, applies for the charger.
The electrolyte circulation option features an air pump integrated in the charger. This introduces air into the battery through capillary tubes that are provided specifically for this purpose. This allows intensive mixing of the electrolyte to take place. The benefit is the reduced heating of the battery, and consequently longer battery-life, plus reduced water loss during charging.
51
EN
If a pump fault or leaks in the connection with the battery result in a fault being detected, then the status code "Statecode 14" will appear on the display. One way in which this fault can be indicated is by using an external indicator lamp to show a common error.
The electrolyte circulation cycle is controlled by the charger's control system. A number of selection options are available in the configuration menu for this purpose. More information can be found under "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.
The default preconfigured programs 1 to 5 are among these selection options. The relev- ant parameters for these programs are listed in the table below together with a sub- sequent explanation.
Program ON 1 OFF 1 Repeat ON 2 OFF 2
1 30 min 25 min 1 x 5 min 25 min
2 3 min 10 min 4 x 3 min 20 min
3 3 min 12 min 1 x 3 min 12 min
4 5 min 10 min 3 x 5 min 20 min
5 2.5 min 7.5 min 1 x 2.5 min 7.5 min
In each of these programs, the solenoid valve opens for a time "ON 1" and closes for a time "OFF 1". This process is repeated for the number of times specified under "Repeat". After this number of repetitions has been completed, the process continues with the "ON 2" and "OFF 2" times until charging is completed.
Cleaning the air filter insert
The air filter insert for the integrated air pump should be cleaned once a year. In dusty environments, the cleaning interval should be shortened accordingly. The air filter insert (2) must be removed for cleaning. Remove the air filter (1) by pulling it out and then refit it as follows:
(1)
External start/ stop
The external start/stop option prevents sparking if the charging plug is disconnected dur- ing charging. Special contacts inside the charging plug register a separation from the charging socket. These are leading contacts in relation to the main contacts. This trig- gers an immediate stop to charging. As a result there is no wear to the main contacts, and this arrangement safeguards more effectively against an oxyhydrogen explosion.

CAN card WARNING!
Danger from using the CAN card for safety-critical functions. This may result in serious injury and damage to property. Do not use the CAN card for safety-critical functions.
The optional CAN card enables the charger's operating statuses and the connected bat- tery's state of charge to be evaluated externally.
More information on the CAN card can be found in the instructions supplied with the CAN card option.
WARNING!
An electric shock can be fatal. Only trained service technicians may open the housing. This includes removing the con- nection plate. The device must be disconnected from the mains before starting any work with the housing open. A suitable measuring instrument must be used to ensure that electrically charged components (e.g. capacitors) are fully discharged. Use an easily legible and understandable warning sign to ensure that the charger is not reconnected to the mains supply before all the work has been completed.
WARNING!
Work that is carried out improperly can cause serious injury or damage. Connection work on the device must only be carried out by qualified specialist techni- cians. If there are Installation Instructions or User Information for the optional component concerned, then all warning notices and instructions therein must be obeyed. Once the connection work is complete, a safety inspection must be carried out in accord- ance with relevant national and international standards and directives. Further details on safety inspections can be obtained from your authorised service centre. They will provide you with any documents you may require on request.
The figure shows the connections in the CAN connection area. The CAN connection area is located behind the connection plate on the front of the device.

Relay board WARNING!
Danger from using the relay board for safety-critical functions. This can result in serious injury and damage to property. Do not use the relay board for safety-critical functions.
NOTE!
Danger due to non-observance of the permissible mains voltage tolerance. This can cause malfunctions and damage. For the relay board option, a restricted L-N input voltage of a maximum of 250 V
applies in relation to the charger.
Risk of Electric Shock! Do not operate at circuits more than 250 V to ground! 0... 30V DC/4A 0... 250V AC/4A Use Copper Conductors Only!

WARNING!

The optional relay board enables the charger's operating statuses and the connected battery's state of charge to be evaluated externally. One or more external consumers can also be supplied with L-N input voltage. A neutral conductor in the electrical mains sup- ply is a prerequisite for this. The configuration of the relay board outputs is explained in the Operating Instructions for the charger: "Additional functions" in the "Display" section.
More information on the relay board can be found in the instructions supplied with the relay board option.
There follows an overview of the options that are directly connected with the relay board. These relay-connected options are activated through the relay board outputs: - Aquamatic control - Charging - Charge 50% - Charge 80% - Charge end - Main charge finished - Charge OK - Charging not finished
Signal if the battery is prematurely disconnected from the charger - Common error - Common error + warning - Signal lamp - Immobiliser device - ON - Refill indicator - Battery cooled - External air pump (electrolyte circulation)

EN
Aquamatic con- trol
The Aquamatic control contains the controller for a solenoid valve that automatically tops up the water in the battery to be charged.
Standard setting - At the start of the recharging phase, the solenoid valve opens for 12 seconds and
then closes for 4 seconds. - This cycle is repeated 26 times.
USER setting - Configurable "ON" time (solenoid valve opens) after the end of the main charge
phase.
Charging The "Charging" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. While charging is in progress, the corresponding relay picks up automatically.
Charge 50% Like the "Main charge finished" function, the relevant relay switches as soon as the bat- tery is 50% charged.
Charge 80% Like the "Main charge finished" function, the relevant relay switches as soon as the bat- tery is 80% charged.
Charging not complete
The "Charging not complete" option lends itself to the actuation of an audible alarm device, for example. If the battery is disconnected from the charger before the charging process is complete, the relay switches for an adjustable time of 1 to 10 seconds.
Charge finish The "Charge finish" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. Once the configured charging characteristic is fully completed, the corresponding relay picks up automatically.
Main charge fin- ished
The "Main charge finished" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. When the main charge phase finishes, the corresponding relay picks up automatically.
Common error message
The "Common error message" option is suitable for actuating a signal lamp for instance. Each time an error is detected, the relevant relay picks up automatically.
Common error + warning
In the same way as for the "Common error" function, the corresponding relay trips as soon as an error or warning is detected.
Signal lamp As an alternative to the charging lights, one or more suitable lamps can be connected to the relay board to indicate the state of charge or operating status of the charger. These
56
lamps can be designed for a voltage of up to 30 V DC or up to 250 V AC on a starpoint- earthed network.
If the lamp circuit is potential-free, then the switching current must not exceed 4 A. A lamp that is actuated by the 230 V supply relay must be operated with an output current of max. 1 A.
Immobiliser device
If the charger is built into a vehicle as an on-board device, the optional immobiliser device will prevent the vehicle from being started unintentionally whilst charging is taking place. This protects the vehicle, the battery and the charger leads from damage.
As soon as the vehicle is connected to the mains supply, the corresponding relay picks up and blocks the ignition signal for instance. Another example is the actuation of a suit- able signal lamp to convey the message visually that charging is currently in progress.
Battery cooled down
The corresponding relay switches automatically once the time set in the menu has passed.
External air pump - electrolyte cir- culation
This option enables an external air pump to be activated by a relay contact in the sense of the "electrolyte circulation" option.
Wall bracket The robust wall bracket ensures safe fitting on site. More information can be found in the corresponding Installation Instructions.
Floor bracket The robust floor bracket ensures safe fitting on site. More information can be found in the corresponding Installation Instructions.
LED strip The LED strip acts as a status indicator and lights up in the same colours as the display elements on the control panel. An LED strip including a diffuser is installed in the gap between the front wall and upper part of the housing.
IP 23 The IP 23 option increases the IP protection rating of the device from IP 20 to IP 23. More detailed information can be found in the corresponding User Information.
Air filter In dusty environments, the air filter prevents the inside of the device from becoming dirty. This avoids a possible reduction in power and other problems. Detailed information can be found in the corresponding User Information. Cleaning interval as required (manufacturer's recommendation: monthly)
"Mobile" kit A carrying strap and handle improve the mobility of the device.
